Sem Seniors Institute
Circulating Library
The senior class of the semin-ary
recently decided on their
class gift which will be a contri-bution
of money for a circulating
library for pastors.
Gass Tillman, senior class pre-sident,
stated that it has been
the desire of the seminary facul-ty,
library administration and
conference pastors for sometime
to make the library facilities
available to pastors, and by the
initial gift from the senior class,
a circulating library of books
used will be those from the pres-ent
library plus new ones to be
purchased.

Wedan Heads Next
Sem Senior Class
Warren Wedan. who serves as
minister of the Foreston Evangel-ical
Free Church, Foreston, Minn.,
was elected the 1954-55 senior
class president at the Middleman
class session Tuesday. The presi-dent-
elect graduated from the
Moody Bible Institute in 1948 and
was graduated from the Univer-sity
of Minnesota in 1952.
The class elected Gordon Paul-son,
a Bethel College graduate
majoring in philosophy, as vice-president.
He has just completed
a term of office as president of
the C. Y. F. young people's group
of Calvary Baptist Church, St.
Paul.
Elected to the office of sec-retary-
treasurer was Vern Merck.
Merck attended Asbury College
and later Wheaton College where
he was graduated in 1950. He
teaches a Sunday School class at
Spring Lake Park Baptist Church.
The lead role of Brutus will be
assumed by Cal Peterson, while
the tithe role of Caesar will be
played by Ben Bertell. Ronald
Palosaari will portray the schem-ing
Casius and Don Richardson
the oratorical Antony. Others in
the play are Barbara Olander,
Lois Eliassen, Bud Lee, Wally Ol-son,
Al Glenn, Fred Thomas, Gene
May, Eddie Meyer and Bob Peter-son.
The play, one of Shakespeare's
earliest tragedies has long been
popular with theatre goers and
students of literature alike. Deal-ing
with the overthrow of govern-ment
and the ensuing consequen-ces,
the theme of Julius Caesar
is of perennial interest. This
theme is of perhaps more interest
to us today than ever before.
It may well be that an intelli-gent
observer and student of this
play may infer and formulate
new and deeper insights into our
contemporary problems.

.&JEe4S ia die ecida4
Shall authoritarian McCarthy-ism
be embraced by those who
claim to hold to the traditional
Baptist beliefs on democracy?
This question is very pertinent
in light of the seeming uncritical
acceptance in the past week of
ultra-right wing crusaders, who
in the disguise of fighting Com-munism
have gnawed at the very
roots of honesty and fair trial. It
appears that some Christians be-lieve
that anything that is oppos-ed
to Communism is right, this
is not only hard to substantiate
from the point of logic but his-tory
has painted its grim refuta-tion.
Lets be critical and not em-brace
all who claim to be of our
fold or who would appeal to our
nationalistic passions.
Ralph Einar Carlson
Items of Thought
by President Wingblade
In the history of water navigation there have been three kinds
of boats. One was of the canal boat type—drawn by mules or horses
along the shore. When the draft animals pulled there was progress.
Otherwise not.
Some people seem like that. You must pull them or push them
along if they are to move. Otherwise all remains pretty much "status
quo."
Then there was, of course, the sail-boat. With favorable winds
the vessel moved forward. When winds died down the progress ceased.
Some people are like that. To get them moving and working
there must be an external cheering on, applause, perhaps flattery.
But then there is a third kind of boat that we know so well
today—with the motive power deep in the hold—it may be steam or
electric power or atomic. But the vessel is independent of wind or
weather and every external influence.
Some people are like that. There is something within that is able
to overcome every wind of opposition. And for the Christian and for
Paul,—it is the love of Christ that constrains us and impels us victor-iously
forward.
As a boy I ran about on a great White Star liner crossing the
Atlantic. The ship plowed its way through great waves—sometimes
mountain high in a storm. One day we boys were privileged to visit
the center of power—the great throbbing engine with its massive
cylinders and driving shafts.
There, was the secret of the power and progress. We have stu-dents
like that. It is "Christ in you—the hope of glory"—and the
victory.
Cries from the Chorus
(Ed. note: This article was written for use in the CLARION as a
timely account of events on the girls' chorus trip' Sent from Iron River,
Michigan on Tuesday.)
Since starting our trip, we girls are agreed that "there's nothing
like a girls' chorus trip."
Our concerts are varied and include, in addition to the chorus num-bers,
the male quartette, a piano solo by Cathy Babcock, a solo by Mr.
Stjernstrom, a reading by Bev. Widen, an instrumental and vocal trio
by Carolyn Dahlquist, Jan Johnson, and Ruth Martinson, a quintette
composed of the quartette and Mr. Stjernstrom and testimonies by sev-eral
of the girls.
Every night one member of the trio develops some kind of ailment
to try to get out of playing, but at the last minute they always come
through. Now Ruth has sinus trouble so the trio is really incapacitated
for a while.
We have had an excellent response from the people in the churches.
So far, we have given seven concerts. W sang over the radio at Mar-quette
and also in the high schools at Marquette and Manistique. The
principal at Manistique, Mr. Carl Olson, said, "This has come to be a
high point in our school year and we consider it a wonderful spiritual
and musical experience whenever a Bethel group appears at our school."
Our singing was the fourth time a Bethel group has sung in the Man-istique
high school.
Along with the enjoyment we receive from singing, we have a great
time travelling and staying in the various homes.
The quartette, composed of Dave Clark, Curt Fauth, John Soneson,
and Russ Baustian, has proven to be a valuable addition to the chorus,
not only in their singing, but also in the roles of risers, robe, and lug-gage-
carrying committees. In the bus, the fellows — that is, all but
Curt, sit near the front with Mrs. Stjernstrom. "Flirty Curty" sits in
the back giving fatherly advice and reading poetry to he girls. At the
churches, the fellows are kept busy before meals in politely seating all
of the girls. They usually seat themsevles one at each table.
At Ladysmith, Wisconsin, several of the girls short-circuited the
usual steps in the "process" and became "engaged." Among the newly-engaged
are Bev Carlson, Joyce Martinson, Carol Engholm, Marilyn Far-gard
and Barbara Harper. Audrey Berge and Avis Anderson are also
wearing large diamonds. Mr.' Stjernstrom became alarmed at the new
development and said, "Next year there won't be any new fellows at
Bethel when they see all of the girls are engaged."
Our director is aging fast on the trip. He has had a birthday every
day. Now he is conditioned so that he automatically gets up and hobbles
around the table the minute we start singing "Happy Birthday."
Carol Engholm, Carol Granholm, Nancy Gustafson and Marilyn Far-gard
are prepared for anything, since they procured squirt guns. Becky
Gotfredson nearly drowned in a water dual with Mr. Stjernstrom. Nat-urally,
he won the bout!
Following our concert at Iron Mountain, Michigan, some fellows
from Northern College called up four of the chorus girls and asked for
dates. The girls waited for an hour for them to come over, but evidently
they got discouraged after hearing that two of them were attached.
A similar-experience was had by the quartette. The four fellows met
at the bus Sunday morning feeling very flattered and important. The
night before they had received a phone call from four Covenant girls
who had enjoyed their singing and "wanted to hear more about Bethel."
The girls invited them over for hamburgers. but they were forced to
decline because they had no way to get over there. The names of the
four "Covenant" girls turned out to be Barbara, Ruth, Gloria, and Joyce.
Ten of us enjoyed staying over night at Martinson's cabin in Man-istique
on Sunday night. After snipe hunting and a light lunch, we
sacked in about 3 a.m.
Although we have had too much food and not enough sleep, with
the help of our three nurses — Barbara Harper, Edna Kipp, and Adella
Bennett—we'll survive until Saturday night when we get back to Bethel.

Illinois-Michigan Wins
Girls Volleyball Tourney
Tennis Team Loses to Mac;
Defeats Hamline Pipers
The Bethel tennis players got the spring sports season off to
a start by splitting their first two matches.
Their initial start was marred by a defeat at the hands of the
Macalester team. However, they quickly recuperated by taking the
Hamline match, 6-3. The first match was technically a forfeit, because
several of the netters neglected to show up on time. They played the
match, however, and Larry Van Heerden was the only victor out of
three sets of singles and doubles set.

(Editor's note: from the spacious
room afforded by one Greyhound
seat in the wee hours of the mor-ning
somewhere along the high-way
in Montana after an all-night
trip comes this on-the-spot re-port.)
In the midst of the sagebrush
and the chaos of a riotous choir
some would dare to reminisce
back to last Friday when we chor-isters
left the campus. It was a
regular royal send-off, climaxed
by a smacker blown clear across
the campus by Millie as the bus
careened down Snelling Ave. At
present the only evidence of civ-ilization
in this vast wilderness is
the main drag of the Northern
Pacific plus the musical cacapho-ny
of five ukes and the sweet
strains of, "Have I Told You Lat-ely
You're A Daddy."
From the moment that Bethel
homeland loomed out of sight we
knew we were in for one of those
escapades to be lived over and
over again throughout life-dom.
Already Don Stipe has been elec-ted
as head-librarian. At our Fer-gus
Falls concert he didn't think
he would quite be able to see our
director. So, each time we came
out for a group he brought a
book or two to stand on. That was
0. K. until he brought out a
"Webster" for the last group. ,He
towered so high above everyone
else that laughter was very near-ly
the high note of the group. ____

Diamond Nine
Wednesday afternoon Concor-dia
College tamed the Royals with
a 3-2 victory at the Concordia
baseball diamond.
Smude of Concordia pitched a
3-hit ball and was fortified by
good defensive play by his team-mates.
Burleson yielded 5 hits for the
Bethel nine and grew more effec-tive
as the game grew older. Cost-ly
errors on the part of the Roy-als
cost them two runs in the sec-ond
and one in the third.
This afternoon the Royals en-tertain
Luther on the Como Park
diamond.
The infield had John Wallberg
at 1st base, Gene Messenger at
2nd base, Howie Johnson at 3rd
and Wes Larson at shortstop.
The outfield was composed of
Gene Anderson, Vern Peterson
and Bruce Anthony. Gene Mes-senger,
the lone returning veter-an
looked very effective at 2nd
base as did Dale Larson, fresh-man,
who came in .later at short
stop. Vern Peterson got two good
hits as did Frank Burleson.
There was a decided need for
defensive improvement in the in-field
as well as a more potent
production from the hitters. All
in all, though, the team showed
excellent promise.
The Royals bounced back and
took a decisive victory over Ham-line,
our next door neighbor. The
victory showed that the squad has
excellent potential and has fine
chance of having a very good re-cord
this season.
Larry Van Heerden, who won
his second match, along with Paul
Sandberg, Bud Lee, and Roger
Berg won their singles matches.
Then Bud Lee and Paul Sandberg
along with Roger Berg and Cal
Edlund won their doubles match-es.
This year's team has a nucleus
of three veteran lettermen and
some very promising newcomers.
The returning lettermen are Bud
Lee, senior, Roger Berg, seminary
middleman, and Cal Edlund, sem-inary
senior who is also acting as
player coach, The newcomers to
the roster are Paul Sandberg,
Dave Miller and Henry Pederson,
all freshmen, and Lawrence Van
Heerden, special student.
Roger Berg is the No.. 1 man
on the squad with Cal Edlund
No. 2. An elimination tournament
between Bud Lee, Paul Sandberg,
and Larry Van Heerden is in
progress to determine the No. 3,
4, and 5 positions. Coach Cal
thinks he has a good squad with
excellent potential.
This year's squad is composed
of infielders Gene Messenger,
John Wallberg, Wes Larson, Dale
Larson, Howie Johnson and Dave
Boes; pitchers Frank Rurleson
and Al Stahnke; catchers Ed
jBrunzell, who also doubles at
pitching, and John Berg. The out-fielders
are Gene Anderson, Vern
Peterson, Bruce Anthony, Doug
Dalton and Duane Pople. The
coach is that enterprising young
man, Lynn Lundin.

Loss In Baseball Opener
The Bethel baseball team gat their season underway by taking
a 16-7 whipping by Augsburg. However, the players as well as the
coach were far from being pessimistic after the defeat. Coach Lundin
said that, naturally, there was much to be expected, but that the team
showed promise of developing into a very good squad. He went on to
say that with a few less errors it would have been a much closer
game.
The starting lineup had Frank Burleson on the mound and Ed
Bronze!l behind the plate. "Flipper" Frank looked good for the first
time out but was the victim of inadequate support. "Eager" Ed handled
the catching chores capably.

Wedan Heads Next
Sem Senior Class
Warren Wedan. who serves as
minister of the Foreston Evangel-ical
Free Church, Foreston, Minn.,
was elected the 1954-55 senior
class president at the Middleman
class session Tuesday. The presi-dent-
elect graduated from the
Moody Bible Institute in 1948 and
was graduated from the Univer-sity
of Minnesota in 1952.
The class elected Gordon Paul-son,
a Bethel College graduate
majoring in philosophy, as vice-president.
He has just completed
a term of office as president of
the C. Y. F. young people's group
of Calvary Baptist Church, St.
Paul.
Elected to the office of sec-retary-
treasurer was Vern Merck.
Merck attended Asbury College
and later Wheaton College where
he was graduated in 1950. He
teaches a Sunday School class at
Spring Lake Park Baptist Church.
The lead role of Brutus will be
assumed by Cal Peterson, while
the tithe role of Caesar will be
played by Ben Bertell. Ronald
Palosaari will portray the schem-ing
Casius and Don Richardson
the oratorical Antony. Others in
the play are Barbara Olander,
Lois Eliassen, Bud Lee, Wally Ol-son,
Al Glenn, Fred Thomas, Gene
May, Eddie Meyer and Bob Peter-son.
The play, one of Shakespeare's
earliest tragedies has long been
popular with theatre goers and
students of literature alike. Deal-ing
with the overthrow of govern-ment
and the ensuing consequen-ces,
the theme of Julius Caesar
is of perennial interest. This
theme is of perhaps more interest
to us today than ever before.
It may well be that an intelli-gent
observer and student of this
play may infer and formulate
new and deeper insights into our
contemporary problems.

Shall authoritarian McCarthy-ism
be embraced by those who
claim to hold to the traditional
Baptist beliefs on democracy?
This question is very pertinent
in light of the seeming uncritical
acceptance in the past week of
ultra-right wing crusaders, who
in the disguise of fighting Com-munism
have gnawed at the very
roots of honesty and fair trial. It
appears that some Christians be-lieve
that anything that is oppos-ed
to Communism is right, this
is not only hard to substantiate
from the point of logic but his-tory
has painted its grim refuta-tion.
Lets be critical and not em-brace
all who claim to be of our
fold or who would appeal to our
nationalistic passions.

Items of Thought
by President Wingblade
In the history of water navigation there have been three kinds
of boats. One was of the canal boat type—drawn by mules or horses
along the shore. When the draft animals pulled there was progress.
Otherwise not.
Some people seem like that. You must pull them or push them
along if they are to move. Otherwise all remains pretty much "status
quo."
Then there was, of course, the sail-boat. With favorable winds
the vessel moved forward. When winds died down the progress ceased.
Some people are like that. To get them moving and working
there must be an external cheering on, applause, perhaps flattery.
But then there is a third kind of boat that we know so well
today—with the motive power deep in the hold—it may be steam or
electric power or atomic. But the vessel is independent of wind or
weather and every external influence.
Some people are like that. There is something within that is able
to overcome every wind of opposition. And for the Christian and for
Paul,—it is the love of Christ that constrains us and impels us victor-iously
forward.
As a boy I ran about on a great White Star liner crossing the
Atlantic. The ship plowed its way through great waves—sometimes
mountain high in a storm. One day we boys were privileged to visit
the center of power—the great throbbing engine with its massive
cylinders and driving shafts.
There, was the secret of the power and progress. We have stu-dents
like that. It is "Christ in you—the hope of glory"—and the
victory.
Cries from the Chorus
(Ed. note: This article was written for use in the CLARION as a
timely account of events on the girls' chorus trip' Sent from Iron River,
Michigan on Tuesday.)
Since starting our trip, we girls are agreed that "there's nothing
like a girls' chorus trip."
Our concerts are varied and include, in addition to the chorus num-bers,
the male quartette, a piano solo by Cathy Babcock, a solo by Mr.
Stjernstrom, a reading by Bev. Widen, an instrumental and vocal trio
by Carolyn Dahlquist, Jan Johnson, and Ruth Martinson, a quintette
composed of the quartette and Mr. Stjernstrom and testimonies by sev-eral
of the girls.
Every night one member of the trio develops some kind of ailment
to try to get out of playing, but at the last minute they always come
through. Now Ruth has sinus trouble so the trio is really incapacitated
for a while.
We have had an excellent response from the people in the churches.
So far, we have given seven concerts. W sang over the radio at Mar-quette
and also in the high schools at Marquette and Manistique. The
principal at Manistique, Mr. Carl Olson, said, "This has come to be a
high point in our school year and we consider it a wonderful spiritual
and musical experience whenever a Bethel group appears at our school."
Our singing was the fourth time a Bethel group has sung in the Man-istique
high school.
Along with the enjoyment we receive from singing, we have a great
time travelling and staying in the various homes.
The quartette, composed of Dave Clark, Curt Fauth, John Soneson,
and Russ Baustian, has proven to be a valuable addition to the chorus,
not only in their singing, but also in the roles of risers, robe, and lug-gage-
carrying committees. In the bus, the fellows — that is, all but
Curt, sit near the front with Mrs. Stjernstrom. "Flirty Curty" sits in
the back giving fatherly advice and reading poetry to he girls. At the
churches, the fellows are kept busy before meals in politely seating all
of the girls. They usually seat themsevles one at each table.
At Ladysmith, Wisconsin, several of the girls short-circuited the
usual steps in the "process" and became "engaged." Among the newly-engaged
are Bev Carlson, Joyce Martinson, Carol Engholm, Marilyn Far-gard
and Barbara Harper. Audrey Berge and Avis Anderson are also
wearing large diamonds. Mr.' Stjernstrom became alarmed at the new
development and said, "Next year there won't be any new fellows at
Bethel when they see all of the girls are engaged."
Our director is aging fast on the trip. He has had a birthday every
day. Now he is conditioned so that he automatically gets up and hobbles
around the table the minute we start singing "Happy Birthday."
Carol Engholm, Carol Granholm, Nancy Gustafson and Marilyn Far-gard
are prepared for anything, since they procured squirt guns. Becky
Gotfredson nearly drowned in a water dual with Mr. Stjernstrom. Nat-urally,
he won the bout!
Following our concert at Iron Mountain, Michigan, some fellows
from Northern College called up four of the chorus girls and asked for
dates. The girls waited for an hour for them to come over, but evidently
they got discouraged after hearing that two of them were attached.
A similar-experience was had by the quartette. The four fellows met
at the bus Sunday morning feeling very flattered and important. The
night before they had received a phone call from four Covenant girls
who had enjoyed their singing and "wanted to hear more about Bethel."
The girls invited them over for hamburgers. but they were forced to
decline because they had no way to get over there. The names of the
four "Covenant" girls turned out to be Barbara, Ruth, Gloria, and Joyce.
Ten of us enjoyed staying over night at Martinson's cabin in Man-istique
on Sunday night. After snipe hunting and a light lunch, we
sacked in about 3 a.m.
Although we have had too much food and not enough sleep, with
the help of our three nurses — Barbara Harper, Edna Kipp, and Adella
Bennett—we'll survive until Saturday night when we get back to Bethel.

Illinois-Michigan Wins
Girls Volleyball Tourney
Tennis Team Loses to Mac;
Defeats Hamline Pipers
The Bethel tennis players got the spring sports season off to
a start by splitting their first two matches.
Their initial start was marred by a defeat at the hands of the
Macalester team. However, they quickly recuperated by taking the
Hamline match, 6-3. The first match was technically a forfeit, because
several of the netters neglected to show up on time. They played the
match, however, and Larry Van Heerden was the only victor out of
three sets of singles and doubles set.

As I See It...
by Mortsyn
(Editor's note: from the spacious
room afforded by one Greyhound
seat in the wee hours of the mor-ning
somewhere along the high-way
in Montana after an all-night
trip comes this on-the-spot re-port.)
In the midst of the sagebrush
and the chaos of a riotous choir
some would dare to reminisce
back to last Friday when we chor-isters
left the campus. It was a
regular royal send-off, climaxed
by a smacker blown clear across
the campus by Millie as the bus
careened down Snelling Ave. At
present the only evidence of civ-ilization
in this vast wilderness is
the main drag of the Northern
Pacific plus the musical cacapho-ny
of five ukes and the sweet
strains of, "Have I Told You Lat-ely
You're A Daddy."
From the moment that Bethel
homeland loomed out of sight we
knew we were in for one of those
escapades to be lived over and
over again throughout life-dom.
Already Don Stipe has been elec-ted
as head-librarian. At our Fer-gus
Falls concert he didn't think
he would quite be able to see our
director. So, each time we came
out for a group he brought a
book or two to stand on. That was
0. K. until he brought out a
"Webster" for the last group. ,He
towered so high above everyone
else that laughter was very near-ly
the high note of the group. ____
Jim Young and Donn Goss have
found great pleasure in singing
unscheduled solos. Distinguished
guys, eh? Marilyn Hagstrom can't
remember to pack her shoes. In

Concordia Downs
Diamond Nine
Wednesday afternoon Concor-dia
College tamed the Royals with
a 3-2 victory at the Concordia
baseball diamond.
Smude of Concordia pitched a
3-hit ball and was fortified by
good defensive play by his team-mates.
Burleson yielded 5 hits for the
Bethel nine and grew more effec-tive
as the game grew older. Cost-ly
errors on the part of the Roy-als
cost them two runs in the sec-ond
and one in the third.
This afternoon the Royals en-tertain
Luther on the Como Park
diamond.
The infield had John Wallberg
at 1st base, Gene Messenger at
2nd base, Howie Johnson at 3rd
and Wes Larson at shortstop.
The outfield was composed of
Gene Anderson, Vern Peterson
and Bruce Anthony. Gene Mes-senger,
the lone returning veter-an
looked very effective at 2nd
base as did Dale Larson, fresh-man,
who came in .later at short
stop. Vern Peterson got two good
hits as did Frank Burleson.
There was a decided need for
defensive improvement in the in-field
as well as a more potent
production from the hitters. All
in all, though, the team showed
excellent promise.
The Royals bounced back and
took a decisive victory over Ham-line,
our next door neighbor. The
victory showed that the squad has
excellent potential and has fine
chance of having a very good re-cord
this season.
Larry Van Heerden, who won
his second match, along with Paul
Sandberg, Bud Lee, and Roger
Berg won their singles matches.
Then Bud Lee and Paul Sandberg
along with Roger Berg and Cal
Edlund won their doubles match-es.
This year's team has a nucleus
of three veteran lettermen and
some very promising newcomers.
The returning lettermen are Bud
Lee, senior, Roger Berg, seminary
middleman, and Cal Edlund, sem-inary
senior who is also acting as
player coach, The newcomers to
the roster are Paul Sandberg,
Dave Miller and Henry Pederson,
all freshmen, and Lawrence Van
Heerden, special student.
Roger Berg is the No.. 1 man
on the squad with Cal Edlund
No. 2. An elimination tournament
between Bud Lee, Paul Sandberg,
and Larry Van Heerden is in
progress to determine the No. 3,
4, and 5 positions. Coach Cal
thinks he has a good squad with
excellent potential.
This year's squad is composed
of infielders Gene Messenger,
John Wallberg, Wes Larson, Dale
Larson, Howie Johnson and Dave
Boes; pitchers Frank Rurleson
and Al Stahnke; catchers Ed
jBrunzell, who also doubles at
pitching, and John Berg. The out-fielders
are Gene Anderson, Vern
Peterson, Bruce Anthony, Doug
Dalton and Duane Pople. The
coach is that enterprising young
man, Lynn Lundin.

Marlene Anderson, Ellie

a herd of "buffali" (?).
Yes, sir, the finest herd of white-faced
Hereford "Buffali" in the
entire west-land was out there.
But make no mistake; this is a
serious group of young people.
They are intent and uncompro-mising
to give only the best in
their peculiar type of ministry. At
prayer meetings, through the
concerts, and in the spontaneity
of the testimonies is found the
evidence of lives in Christ which
make this choir one without
apology for their school and their
Lord.

Augsburg Hands Royals
Loss In Baseball Opener
The Bethel baseball team gat their season underway by taking
a 16-7 whipping by Augsburg. However, the players as well as the
coach were far from being pessimistic after the defeat. Coach Lundin
said that, naturally, there was much to be expected, but that the team
showed promise of developing into a very good squad. He went on to
say that with a few less errors it would have been a much closer
game.
The starting lineup had Frank Burleson on the mound and Ed
Bronze!l behind the plate. "Flipper" Frank looked good for the first
time out but was the victim of inadequate support. "Eager" Ed handled
the catching chores capably.
